Orbital Sound’s sell-out “Mixing Musicals” training course returns on 27-28 August this year, combining theory, practice and a West End show visit within its popular two-day format. Designed to help aspiring theatre sound operators take their show mixing skills to the next level, the two-day course focuses on the practical skills and theory behind best-practice FOH mixing requirements of musicals. Participants will be taken through every stage of the process – from the rehearsal room to setting up a desk in its base state, including the theory, introduction to why line-by-line mixing is so important, and what happens when you don't do it. Hands-on experience is an essential aspect of the course, which includes a trip to the West End for a behind-the-scenes look at a show and the chance to talk to the sound team. Numbers are strictly limited to 24 – with the course running at Orbital's Brixton training centre.

Orbital Sound has announced that its 12th annual Sound Fundamentals for Theatre training course will take place from 2–5 April 2013. The company has trained over 250 students since the course began running in 2001.

UK: Orbital Sound is seeking to boost sound engineering qualifications in the theatre industry, writes David Davies. The company is reintroducing its multi-day training seminars for students, with the first - the two-day 'Sound Skills for Theatre' - scheduled to take place at the company's South London HQ on October 2nd and 3rd. According to Orbital Sound, the course will provide "an intensive, hands-on look at the technologies and challenges facing theatre professionals in the rapidly advancing world of theatre sound."
